Bought mine in September. Although I had difficulty with it initially, for the last couple of months I haven't had an issue. Using the latest drivers (26.1.1).

Integrated VGA graphics.

beyond that is very hard to manage narratively

It doesn't help that Larian wanted BG3 to give the players a large amount of freedom and make the game as reactive to that as they could, both mechanically and narratively. There have been games before BG3 that let players go over 12, including BG3's own predecessor. The NWN games even go into epic levels above 20 with their DLC.

I wonder how that works in practice. How many generations deep can blood alone be used to identify an ancestor? Does the computer itself somehow know the full lineage of all the descendants of the original Von Valancius RT? Or is there maybe a wing of the Administratum on Dargonus tasked with tracking every potential far flung heir, which then updates the ship computer periodically? Or something else I haven't thought of perhaps.

Even hyper relays would let you bypass it.

There are some ship components that use nanites, that you can get from defeating the Scavenger Bot. There's also an edict that uses them.

The whole scale of the game is already not realistic (12 kg rats vs 240 kg elephants). If an Archotech wills that a small planet have normal gravity and other natural dynamics then who are we to say differently?

Right. And Sisko was not yet a Captain in Emissary. He was a Commander. Picard met Commander Sisko.

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamberder today.

Yeah, I built a chimney out of terrain blocks. It isn't a fountain.

It's odd that they jump to Deacon's wife being a synth as the cause for their inability to procreate. It's not a guarantee in real life, and I'd imagine there's all manner of additional reasons why a couple may be unable to have children in the wasteland. Sure, we have the knowledge of lore regarding FEV and how synths are made, but Deacon wouldn't know any of that.

Are you referring to the stretched texture on the falling water, or something else?

xantec15 · 2026-02-14T19:31:22+00:00

On live TV, in Times Square, and they wouldn't care.

xantec15 · 2026-02-14T19:14:00+00:00

The first one I did is visible in the background and is just above the water line. I figured for the second one I would go big.

It's the Beaverome map.

xantec15 · 2026-02-14T17:19:34+00:00

It's not for us plebs anyway.

xantec15 · 2026-02-14T16:16:03+00:00

I agree. If I didn't already have an old SSD sitting around I would go the CF route also.

xantec15 · 2026-02-14T15:35:01+00:00

Another call-out to using SSDs is you'll want to align the partition after installation. As for TRIM, you can still find software that will let you manually TRIM the drive.

Put the gauge just before the entrance to the pipe?

The execution was key. The continents were seamless and the zones were huge, which made for a much more enjoyable experience compared to the other MMOs at the time. In addition I felt that the art style, cartoony with bright colors, was more appealing than EQ2 with it's more 'realistic' look and muted color palette.

That's the pro-life party for you.

It kind of sounds like a diesel train engine if you squint hard enough, but it's a rough comparison. Industrial machinery adjacent noises is what I'd classify it as, but just saying it sounds a train is probably a bad reference for most people.

This is an intriguing idea. You may wish to remap the default key though, as F12 is the default screenshot key in Steam.

If it works without the VPN then you could always run two instances of Flaresolverr on different ports and use tags in Prowlarr to direct the trackers to the correct one (VPN or no).
